Whether you’re planning a vacation or simply plotting activities for a weekend close to home, keeping a family entertained can certainly present a challenge for even the most creative of parents. In an age where kids of every age seem to be flooded with Facebook and consumed by cell phones, disconnecting for family time and a breath of fresh air becomes all the more important- and all the more difficult to do.
But lucky for us, McCall moves at a little different speed. We like to shut it down and get out there, enjoying endless recreation and fun family events year-round. Recently, the lovely ladies of Traveling Mom visited Shore Lodge and The Cove spa and got a taste of what were talking about. From skiing at Brundage to movies in McCall’s only movie theater, the Idaho Traveling Mom deemed Shore Lodge and The Cove ideal options for fun family travel that was relaxing enough for mom and dad, too.
If you’re seeking a spot to enjoy some quality time with the kiddos, we invite you to experience nature’s playground and the family fun amenities here at Shore Lodge, too. Here are just a few ideas for your next adventure this winter:
Brundage Mountain – Located just a few miles from Shore Lodge, we proudly offer free transportation to the ‘Best Snow In Idaho.’ Whether your kids are into skiing or snowboarding, sledding or snowman building, Brundage truly is the place to be. Take a peek at our ‘stay and ski’ packages for special offers on snowy family fun.
Snowmobiling – If you group is the thrill-seeking sort, Shore Lodge’s staff will help you plan the perfect back country adventure to satisfy your need for speed. Rent all the gear and hit the trail for Burgdorf, located a few miles away through finely groomed trails of fresh powder. Upon arrival, enjoy a bite to eat at the cafe and a relaxing dip in the hot springs. Two smaller pools, perfect for the kiddies, are also onsite.
Bicycle Cruises - Downtown McCall is truly a scene out of a postcard so why not take it all in by bike? We offer free beach cruiser rentals to guests who wish to explore our wonderful town. Take a ride down Lake Street and be sure to stop in McPaws Animal Shelter to visit the kitties and the McCall Candy Company for the tastiest local made treats in town.
Lakeside S’mores – After a long day of family fun, kick back lakeside and roast up classic campfire snacks. From 7-10 p.m. we put out all the fixings for s’mores and invite you to enjoy a sweet and a smile with the ones you love.
And when the snow melts and the sun shines, be sure to come back as Shore Lodge offers a whole other set of summer activities for families including a kid’s camp, water sports, golf and more. Stay tuned for special offers on other fun family vacations here in McCall!
